Hello Renderosity, :o) I want to make some rotating textured spheres that look like little planets and was hoping to learn if there is any software particularly suited to this sort of thing. I may even want to put some orbitting moons or rings around these planets. If possible I'd like to add an atmosphere to some with varied geography and geology. I don't just want some smooth spheres. I want to give them some "character" - atmosphere, oceans, mountains, deserts etc. I can get access to Bryce, 3D Studio Max and Macromedia Freehand and some Adobe software. Any software recommendations for this sort of stuff? :o) Thank you. Seamus. :)
